It isn&#39;t at all like just picking someone off the street since she&#39;s trained in a related field -- she&#39;s presented as a university student in architecture, and the whole role they draft her for in the heist is architectural design. Has she utilized her skills in that particular arena before? Well, no, but as it&#39;s all taking place within the confines of the mind it isn&#39;t so much a stretch to think she could adapt a skill at architectural design in such a manner. As far as her then offering zero technical input for her key role, she&#39;s shown in several instances designing the mazes the team will be using during their mission. She designs each level and then trains each team member in how to navigate it (there&#39;s a comment in the ice fortress level when Dom asks Ariadne if she designed a backdoor, and then has her tell Eames about it so they can move through the maze more quickly).ethelrednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-22459955134902082852011-01-31T16:22:26.207+00:002011-01-31T16:22:26.207+00:00@ #1 - Maybe subplot wasn&#39;t the right word, bu...@ #1 - Maybe subplot wasn&#39;t the right word, but the story involving Ciaran Murphy&#39;s character and his father felt rather under-developed considering its importance to the plot.<br /><br />@ Chris - Thanks for the offer. The title alone sounds interesting! But at the moment my to-read pile stands at 90 books and by my current estimates it&#39;ll take me about a year to get through them (not counting any new books coming out this year), so I&#39;ll sadly have to decline.Adam Whiteheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-64227890548597994162011-01-31T15:53:33.086+00:002011-01-31T15:53:33.086+00:00A good review - I&#39;d have to say I thoroughly e...A good review - I&#39;d have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the film, its few minor warts and all. <br /><br />Excuse me for asking out of the blue, but I was wondering if you would review my upcoming book - Sherlock Holmes and the Flying Zombie Death Monkeys. It&#39;s basically a B-movie in a book, with the world&#39;s most popular sleuth fighting a new breed of the undead. If I could send you the PDF for review that would be fantastic.<br /><br />It&#39;d be great if you could help.<br /><br />Best<br /><br />Chris Wood<br />cjohnwood@gmail.com<br /><br />Legendary detective Sherlock Holmes is forced to deal with a plague that threatens to engulf the whole country. Victorian London is besieged by a new and terrible kind of creature. Dripping with carnage, mayhem, and some of the worst haircuts in recorded history, see how the great sleuth defies death and deals it out. Will Watson avenge the cat? And can Victorian life ever recover …<br /><br />“I may be wrong about this, but I think you&#39;ve really got something with this Sherlock character of yours...Solving crimes, playing the violin, that schlubby Watson – where the hell did you get this idea?”<br /><br />Michael Gerber, author, Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody<br /><br /><br /><br />“… a humorist of the highest order.”<br /><br />Top 10 US Amazon reviewer Grady HarpChris Woodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-32104167930172965142011-01-31T13:04:03.381+00:002011-01-31T13:04:03.381+00:00I was under-impressed by the way the girl was draf...I was under-impressed by the way the girl was drafted into what has to be a difficult and highly technical business (as witnessed by the small number of practioners and the cited difficulty of inception). It was rather like picking somebody off the street to fix computer chips based on a recommendation that they would be good at it. <br /><br />She is then used in a rather heavy handed way to educate the viewers as she is &#39;taught the ropes&#39;.

We learn almost nothing about the supporting cast of characters and the only real character development centers around the main character and his wife. So which subplots are you referring to?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
